Empowerment-4-life Personal Empowerment for the Home Business owner

That's Right, Personald Development Coaching B.S.

  Just a quick fYI.

I wrote about Personal development coaching B.S. over at my New Way Of Wealth blog this morning.

That's right, B.S. Why on earth would I say that? It's all Dan Kenedy's Fault.

Oh, you don't know who he is?

Ok then. Enough confusion.

Head over to New Way of Wealth right away and find it all out for yourself.

Shocking Annoucement, Read ASAP

I have a pretty big announcement to make but you'll have to wait till the end of the post before I share it with you. First I have a serious topic I want to get into below. 

The formula is preparation + effectiveness = productivity

I see so many people go at their home business the exact opposite. Since I've been studying & implementing  internet marketing in my schedule I even fell into the trap myself.

The just do it syndrome tends to be akin to the shot gun as apposed to a long range rifle with a scope. One of them just isn't going to cut it when it comes to your long range goal.

I am constantly preparing in my network marketing business as well as my internet marketing business now. I'm constantly keeping up on my studies from reading to reading and to oh...reading some more.

No I'm not a immobilized nerd that is just a reader and not a doer. I put plenty of action in my steps.

However I realize in order to be effective I have to know myself and my gam. The only way to be effective when you engage in your business is to be prepared. It's the same in either business I'm working right now.

I know in order to be effective in my prospecting efforts, whether by phone or in person I have to be prepared in order to get the desired results. If I'm not prepared then I'm not effective.

I will know I'm effective because I'm productive in my results. Being productive doesn't mean I've reached my specific goal. It just means that I able to measure where I am at in my process of achieving my desired result. (Hence this is determined in my earlier preparation)

Had I known how tracking my results would effect how quickly I achieve my goals years ago..I have a feeling I'd already amassed a much larger fortune right now.

I was all about go go go and just DO IT! Many people fall in this trap and never slow up to hurry up.

Prepare-This could range from actually writing out your desired results (planning)
to constantly reading, practicing your presentations or researching coaching for your team.

Effectiveness- Your effectiveness A lot of times is based on how well you prepared and by that I  mean how much you may have studied a particular subject, how well you rehearsed your presentation or most importantly reviewing your past experiences and by what you did right and what you did wrong.?  Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and getting the same result. How effective where you the 1st time. Plan do and review.

Productivity- This is gaged by how much you're able to accomplish in a given period of time.

I just  enrolled in Eban Pagans 90 day Time Management course. He said something very keen that I hope you apply to this whole post.

"We aren't able to manage time. We're only able to manage ourselves." So by how well we manage ourselves, i.e. prepare and study our effectiveness, will determine how much productivity we achieve in a given space of time. There by giving us the results we desire in our lives.

I choose to believe this is the stuff that winners study and implement.

You're a winner and if you want to take it to the next level this is the stuff you may want to study.

I'll share a little of what I get form Eban's course. It's mostly 90 days of video and practice. I won't give away the farm out of respect for Eban but I will along the way share with you a few tid bits that will probably encourage you to take his next course after 90 days.

To Your Success.

P.S. Oh I almost forgot the big announcement didn't I? I'm going to start blogging again here at Empower 4 Life.

Tony Teegarden is Greedy and Cheating...

Yes I'm still here and yes I'm cheating...Let me explain before you set my things out on the front lawn. Besides I've got something cool for you when you're done reading :-)

Funny thing is, since I've taken some time away from this blog my syndication has gone up lol!

I believe on one of the sites I found, out of the top blogs on personal development this blog was rated around a 7.4 out of 10. Even since I've taken almost 2 months away.

Well the truth is I'm working on something else. Yes I'm cheating on this blog and have actually been working on setting up a Wordpress blog. For you non techies it just means more functionality for me, more freedom for me and more valuable surprises for you at no cost.

Since my time away from this blog (honestly I don't miss Typepad I just miss blogging) I've noticed a certain satisfaction that I don't quite get from personal journaling. I believe it's the giving back something to others. So yes I've been holding out. I'm actually sure of it.

It's not about the money, it's about your passion. If you're not passionate it will show. And I for one am certainly passionate about blogging and sharing my insights on personal development and growth.

I found I have some other passions as well.

I'm going through a lot of growth right now and I'm looking forward to sharing it all with you very soon so you can apply these lessons to your own business.

I actually miss you guys and Gals!

Until then Check out this site for some really cool stuff worth over $4570 that won't cost you a dime. I found it by accident a few weeks ago and have been hording it to my self until now.

Cheating and greedy lol. Hopefully this makes up for it.

All Things Must End

I know I know I haven't been posting as of lately.

My network marketing business is doing better than ever. My coaching and leadership skills have gotten better with my ego getting smaller. My life is at a turning point and I see nothing but great things in store.

I must say though that I will not be posting nearly as much as I have been. I'm just giving you a heads up now. Daily posts don't fit my schedule right now and my goals of what I desire to accomplish.

I never set out to do posts daily. I just did posts as things hit me that I thought would be of value to people and I see that they have been by all of the email I get.

Needless to say I have made a decision that I will be posting higher quality posts, with more content, fewer times per month. Maybe even as few as 2 to 3 posts a month. But I promise you those posts will be of the highest quality and content to empower you and your business so that you move more people in your business in which case you move more volume of goods & services. Which by the way creates you more income and lifestyle.

I'm sure some of you may not be happy about this but all things in life change. I'm not closing the chapter on this book by no means but I am redirecting my energies at the moment and as I see fit I'll let you know what that means. (I can't even say I know, I'm just following my intuition)

Maybe even a different blog? A better blog? A more important message? Time will tell as inspiration hits me.

I'm always here.

That Makes Me Sick-Mindset of Money

  He walks through the magazine isle with rapid eyes looking for it. His eye movement scanning each magazine cover quickly as if he is shoveling each cover out of the way while digging for gold.

Finally!

At last he has found it, the issue of Bill Gates extravagant  multi  Billion  dollar home.  What art, what  grandeur, what decedent visions for the eyes to drink in.

He walks up to the counter and proudly places it on the counter to purchase and swiftly hears, "That makes me sick,  that should be a sin paying that much money for something when there are so many people in the world in need."

He stands there for a moment, a bit in shock. He looks down at the magazine then slowly looks up at her as if carefully choosing his aim before firing.

With a calm caring look and relaxed tone he pulls his verbal trigger:

"Do you realize how many jobs he created when he had that home built?"

She looks on at him in disbelief.

"Do you realize how many carpenters, electricians, plumbers and contractors of all sorts that were able pay their mortgage, feed their families and and put their kids through school because of his so called sin?" 

She stares back down at the cover of the magazine not daring to make eye contact just yet again.

"I just can't see your view of someone who has touched so many lives yet calling his blessings of others a sin?"

Looking with in at that moment she looks back and says, "I apologize, you're right." 

Beliefs around money are a tricky thing if you're not clear on them.

The conversation is darn near true by the way. My good friend had that near exact same experience with that very magazine featuring Bill Gates home.

His reaction was one of clear belief that money is good. Her thought, money is bad.

Belief around money can absolutely affect your ability to attract or take action towards creating it.

Ask yourself these questions:

• What do you feel money is to you?
• How do you see it affecting your life if you have more, and how will that affect others in your life?
• How much money do you feel is necessary?
• Are you tracking your money even if you don't have much?

Money is an affect more so than a cause.

Meaning, money of course is a result of your life well lived, rather than you're life being well lived because you have more money.

Here is most peoples thought process around money:

"When I have more money I'll track it, grow it and invest it."

Here is what wealth people think:

"Because I track, grow and invest it, I have more money."

This will directly affect how much activity you take towards building your network marketing business, what kind of people you're comfortable approaching and what kind of support you will actually give that person.

Think about it.
